Lonnie (Eddie Griffin), G (Anthony Anderson) and Dominic (Michael Imperioli) have been inseparable, growing up in their Philadelphia neighborhood. As young players in the hood, they have lived rent free with Lonnies uncle and have enjoyed the carefree lives of bachelorhood. During a party, each of these guys decides to become intimate with a different young woman. Several months later, at about the same time, each woman tells her guy, Youre my babys daddy. This comedy takes its audience through the clumsy and challenging first months of parenthood. The mothers-to-be all decide to have the babies; the men have no choice but to accept their new roles as father and are taken on a journey that helps them to become the men that they need to be.

My Babys Daddy is a so-called comedy with a gangsta-thug theme that has limited material that is actually funny. The overdose of bathroom humor and bad language is troubling. A pregnant woman passes gas as does a man in a birthing class as does a saintly grandmother at a crowded dinner table who with a relieved look on her face says, That was a wet one. A distinguished father, who has appeared to work hard to build a life and family, reveals to a friend that he is a pot smoker and a beer drinker and was a gang member as a youth. These scenes break down the character and credibility of responsible adults in order to get cheap laughs. Sexuality is prominent in the movie. Women are the aggressors and have few standards and little sense of self pride. One manipulative woman allows herself to get pregnant so that she can collect child support but refuses to take responsibility for raising the child. Doing the right thing eventually is emphasized, but that is not what movie goers will find most memorable. Preview cannot encourage anyone to see this movie.
